AOC: Mike Johnson paints this as though it’s some partisan witch hunt. But if you don’t want to be prosecuted for crimes, don’t do crimes.
And he’s talking about running a protection racket. And we are already seeing that this Trump administration has run what some have called one of the largest pedophile protection programs in American history.
And so when Mike Johnson tells a group of wealthy donors, I'm the only thing standing between you, and a consequence that should rattle at the conscience of every American.
What he wants to do is create—or rather, not even create, because it’s already been created—but protect a class of impunity in America that says, “You can commit whatever crime, and so long as you pay a check to us, we will protect you.”
And that is a model of extortion in American politics. And you know what? That’s their pitch.
WWII Veteran and Purple Heart recipient Robert Hilliard:
"Next week I'll be 101 years old. In February 1944 when I was 18 years old I was inducted into the army and what they taught me to do there was to kill people who set up detention camps. Can you imagine how I felt earlier this year when they announced that one of the future detention camps would be at that same camp landing in Florida? We have a fascist, a fascist government, that allows innocent people to be put in detention camps and incarcerated."

BREAKING: In a stunning moment, Governor Wes Moore just announced that he is calling for a special session to redistrict Maryland to make more Democratic seats in Congress. This is amazing.
Once again Tommy Tuberville votes against folks in Alabama, this time voting no on an overwhelmingly bipartisan bill to create affordable housing. This man is no public servant.
REPUBLICAN SEN. TILLIS: “What Freakin’ parallel universe did I wake up in? You’re telling me — if it’s true — damaging the reflecting pool lining is something Pirro wants to prosecute… yet they’re releasing people who pled guilty to assaulting officers?”
Good morning and Happy Tuesday to everyone who is glad to see that, unlike CBS bending the knee to trump and ruining shows like 60 Minutes, ABC is telling trump to f*ck off with his attempt to control ALL media.
MORE OF THIS!!!
Senate Republicans just blocked Jon Ossoff's bill to ban Members of Congress from trading cryptocurrency and stocks.
"We could go to any town, any county in Georgia, and ask anybody of either political party or no political party, 'Should Members of Congress be playing the stock market while we make legislation?' and overwhelmingly the answer would be no."
Since Trump doesn't want this portrait of President Obama displayed in the White House, let's make this photo of our President go viral here!
RETWEET if you love @BarackObama!
The FBI wouldn't spend $100,000 to chase a lead in the Nancy Guthrie kidnapping, per TMZ.
Kash Patel had plenty for himself — date nights with his girlfriend, golf in Scotland, a hunting lodge, all on a $60 million private jet funded by taxpayers.
Katz: The way we talk about what scandals are on television is fundamentally disconnected from the lives mainers are living. How is it not a scandal that Susan Collins is married to a lobbyist who while she was on the committee deciding what firms get money, gave $76 million to her husband, that she has voted to fund wars that have enriched her own stock portfolio. Susan Collins and her lobbyist husband seem like a scandal.
🚨 Republican Senator Jim Justice’s company was being investigated for dumping toxic pollutants into public waters.
Trump has now ceased all investigations.
President Trump fired 19 inspectors general whose job was to root out waste, fraud, and abuse. At the same time, he’s pardoned convicted fraudsters.
Why does this administration keep protecting criminals instead of protecting you?
Kentucky big man Malachi Moreno revealed he lost 10 pounds after the season, but now he's focused on gaining it back, and more, the right way.

A federal judge has ordered the restoration of historical materials that were removed from national parks and historical sites across this country. These are not just signs and exhibits. These are the stories of enslaved people, civil rights leaders, indigenous communities, women who fought for suffrage, and immigrants who helped build this nation. Even with this ruling, the effort to erase our history continues. We will not look away and we will not back down.
